Although Crosley lost everything in her home, she was still thankful for her miracle dog. True is not your ordinary hero pet - he is blind, deaf and only has three legs.

It has been a rough year so far for Katie Crosley. Her son, Jace, was born with a heart defect and spent weeks in NICU. "All of his stuff from NICU, medical records, all gone," said Crosley. "So that's the hardest part, having all that stuff from when he was little."

Still, Crosley is so grateful for so many things, especially the once-unwanted Dachshund. "We're thankful for him. This could have a been a bad deal."
